Any info about the memory speed?

I seem to have noticed a trend that when it comes to low TDP APU's, OEM's tend to use non SMT enabled versions of AMD Renoir.
I wonder if this is because of low availability of SMT parts, or because OEM's may be intentionally offering non SMT AMD APU's.

A 4600u and 4800u would be both great to have as an option and more 'future proof' for various people.
They fall in the same TDP category as non SMT versions, so I don't understand why are non-SMT ones preferred.

Only 4800u/4900u are SMT. Then Pro versions, so most of Lenovo have 4/8, 6/12 and 8/16 versions.

4600u also has SMT (6 cores and 12 threads).
But as I'm noticing... for 15W TDP APU's... OEM's aren't offering any of the SMT enabled APU's.
